I was never..."popular"
as a kid...
or really as an adult either
for that matter...
I dance to my own music
not caring
who sees
or says....
anything
Kids and dogs
seem to like me ok
adults....well....
they don't know how to
take me....
Fine by me....
really,
I don't need the drama
nor want the waste of
my time
However....
recently....I seem to be....
"cutting edge"
"mainstream"
dare I say it....
"popular"
!!!!!!!!!
Apparently...
brutal honesty
and un-apologetic
bottom line acessments
are somehow
all the rage!
Go Figure!
So now I am forced to play "hostess"
and be wise
and hurl enchanted
mantras...
to any who happens along....
I am a caricature...
of what was once....
a cutting wit
and sharp tongue
....deflated...
I have become ...
"the entertainment...."
expected....
taunted...
labeled and excused
....sadly
I feel flat...
and lifeless....
a mere script....
a role....
that has been filled.
